Mary was without a doubt a favourite Walton lady. I have lots of wonderful memories of her at the store when I was a little girl. I remember her helping me shop for a Mother&&single&&s Day gift, making sure I stayed within my meagre allowance budget…and I think my Mom still has what Mary and I chose! She was a gentle lovely person who will be missed.
